" Dearly beloved Brethren and Children in Jesus Christ, AS it is our first and indispensable duty to keep God's commandments — " If thou wilt enter into life," says Christ, "keep the commandments " (Matt, xix, 17)— so it ought to be our primary and chief devotion, to worship God by the exercises of faith, hope, and charity. Still it has been the general practice of the saints and other eminent servants of God to unite with the exercise of these divine virtues, as a means of nourishing and increasing' them, cer- tain particular devotions, according as they have been inspired by the Holy Ghost, or prompted by their own reflections. Some of these holy personages have devoted themselves to the special service of that most pure and holy of creatures by means of whom our Redeemer Jesus Christ was grven to us ; others have dedicated their lives to the perpetual adoration of this in-arnate God,in the adorable Sacr amen of the Altar; others haye consecraka themselves to the particular worswp of the precious wounds, or the veneiat to countenance, or the loving Heart ol W divine Jesus."
